Jumblat Criticizes Cabinet Delay: Majority is Retarded

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat criticized the new majority for its disability to form the cabinet, accusing it of being paralyzed.

Jumblat said on Friday during the opening ceremony of the National Center for Development and Rehabilitation that the politicians are the “retarded” ones for disagreeing over shares in the government while “the country is on the verge of collapse.”

Jumblat stressed that the Arab world is witnessing “revolutions and the future is unknown.”

Informed sources told al-Liwaa newspaper on Saturday that the PSP leader is dissatisfied with the current cabinet formation deadlock.

“Jumblat said that the political class is paralyzed. It failed to provide (the country with) the slightest means of stability and security… not being able to form the new cabinet,” the sources said.
